I started writing the beginning of a book and wanted to give you a preview to see what you guys thought before scrapping or continuing the idea. So without further ado here's a preview of "Somewhere Over A Rainbow"

***

Maria held my hand tightly. She was afraid, I could tell. I wasn't normally the one to be brave but I was, for her.

"Jonathan. Please tell me why you and Maria were reported."

I looked up at the clerk. She had a long pointed nose with a mole near the end. She wore bright purple lipstick and her eyes were sunken back into her head. She had, what could be only explained as, a Hunger Games type of hairstyle and wore glasses that were connected to a beaded necklace. On her pink puffy blouse a name tag that said "Hi My Name Is..." had Meg written in bold, messy, capital letters.

"Maria threw a pen at me..." I muttered feeling myself grow hot with the lie.

"Really? All that fuss over a pen?"

Meg leaned closer toward me, her makeup caked face looking quite pale. Just gagged a bit as I took a whiff of her breath, which smelled like onions.

"Yes, Ma'am." I said softly, refusing to make eye contact.

Meg huffed softly before clicking a pen and using it to point at a door labeled, Petroski.

"Mr. Petroski is waiting for you two." Meg muttered.

As we walked away I heard the click of a lighter and the smell of smoke. Smoking in a school. A quick way to get fired. Maria knocked on the door, nervously.

Her dark brown hair bordering her face, small whisps and strands getting into her mouth and eyes. Her eyes were hazel and had a bright flicker in them, revealing her passion and excitement. Her face was dusted lightly with freckles and her lack of makeup revealed a few pimples dotting her forehead. Her plaid button up shirt wasn't tucked into her jeans but that didn't seem to bother her.

"Come in." Came the clear voice of Mr. Petroski, the principal.

We opened the door and slowly walked in, taking a seat in front of his desk.

"Anyone want to explain why you're here?" He questioned.

So tell me what you think. Should I continue the idea or scrap it? I know I didn't give you guys much to work with but... ya I didn't give you much to work with. So just tell me if you want to find out what happy next or not. See you guys tomorrow. I'm going to sleep.
